Shipwreck from 1800s found during search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

January 14, 2016 03:58

For nearly two years, boats dragging high-tech detection devices across the Indian Ocean have failed to solve the mystery of the whereabouts of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

But in December one boat raked up a different one -- a shipwreck some 200 years old at the bottom of the sea.

"An anomalous sonar contact was identified in the course of the underwater search, with analysis suggesting the object was likely to be man-made, probably a shipwreck," said the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, the Australian agency directing the search for MH370, the Boeing 777 that mysteriously disappeared in March 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing.
